Walking in the snow!

This afternoon the snow stopped and the sun came out (can I get an "AMEN!") so we took a walk in the snow. Claire has never walked in snow that deep before. When we had our crazy snows last year we thought it was too cold and we stayed inside. So, she was super excited to put on her snow clothes and stomp around in it!

I tried to find myself some snow clothes, but unfortunately I don't have any. So, I ended up with wal-mart bags over my tennis shoes. Yeah, I'm a dork.


We walked for awhile and then Claire wanted to build a snowman.

The snow here is so dry that any balls Charlie made just fell apart! Claire still liked throwing it though!

I don't think Grayson knew what to think about all of this fun!

Check out our road conditions now...

I don't think I will be driving anywhere for awhile!

I hope you are having a nice Sunday!

A Snowy Saturday

Today we woke up to snow...lots of snow! And it hasn't really stopped yet. Oh boy!
Claire told Charlie that, "Daddy love snow...I love snow...Mommy just wants it to go away!" Ha! I think so far we have gotten around 7 inches.

Gus has already made a trench. The news said that this weekend we are supposed to get more snow than we have had so far this winter!
Needless to say, I was not wanting to venture out of the house today! We had a nice day at home filled with naps, a new veggie tales movie, pizza, cookies...

and a ride on Daddy's shoulders!

I love those sweet faces!

Seven Months!

Grayson is seven months old!

I know I say this every month, but these last seven months have flown by! Grayson is now wearing 9 months and 6-12 months clothes. He does have a pair of pajamas that are 12 months and he can wear those too! I had to move him to the 12 months pair because he loves to bust the snaps open in some of his 9 months pajamas and when he wakes up in the middle of the night his foot will be twisted or both feet will be in one leg or both feet will be out of his pajamas all together!

This is Grayson's newest "face." He has been blowing lots of raspberries lately while making this silly face!

Last week I took Grayson to the pediatrician for a check-up. He now weighs 17 pounds 11 ounces! His doctor told me to keep trying with the cereal and baby food and lately he has been doing a little bit better. He actually enjoyed cereal a few days ago! I was so surprised I almost fell out of my chair!

Our biggest news of this month is that Grayson is getting two teeth! We even think there is a third coming soon...oh boy! Well this explains the drooling and crankiness...bless his heart! His next month post will have a toothy grin, I can't wait!

Here is Claire and Grayson at 7 months. This picture of Claire was taken the day she started crawling...I don't foresee Grayson doing that soon, but I am glad. It gets crazy when they are mobile, ha!

They still look so different! We sure do love 'em though! :)

Interview with Claire

Lately, I have been spending a lot of time on Pinterest. If you haven't checked out Pinterest, you should!! I have really enjoyed finding great ideas for the kids and using the recipes I have found to spice up our dinners throughout the week! We have tried a ton of new recipes and most of them have been really good. Last night it was crockpot chicken cordon bleu and I was so happy it turned out so yummy!
Another idea I found on Pinterest was to interview your child, starting at age 3, and every year ask them the same questions. Then, you can use the answers and make them into a memory book. I love this idea! So, I told Claire that I was going to ask her some questions and write down her answers. Here is what Claire said...
